Why report occurrences?

Without occurrence reports

All we can do is guess!


What to report?

The more we know – the more we can do!


Who needs to report?

Currently: DIRECTIVE 2003/42/EC and RD 22/04/2005

Mandatory Occurrence Reporting by

• Commercial Aircraft Operators;

• Commanders of a turbine-powered or a public transport aircraft;

• Manufacturers and Designers;

• Maintenance Organizations;

• ATC;

• Airport Operators;

• Ground Handlers.


Who needs to report?

Today there is a revision of EU legislation on occurrence reporting in civil aviation.

BCAA shall establish a Voluntary Occurrence Reporting System(VORS).

Also GA VFR pilots can report within this VORS system directly to the State.


How to report?

Cfr. guidance material (Circular) CIR/ INS-01 published on the BCAA website

Occurrence reporting Belgium

99.999% of data originates from Commercial Aviation.

This means there is no safety initiative for the ULM community. The BSP is only focused on Commercial Aviation

This might have a negative influence on the ULM activities.

You have an opportunity to raise your voice!


Using occurrence reports – National

• At a National Level – Reports are a key part of the Belgian Safety Programme

• Without occurrence reports there is no understanding of where risks lie

• Regardless of the size of the operator, every single report is like part of the national jigsaw

• Your report is vital to improve Belgian aviation safety


Using occurrence reports – Europe

• At an European level – de-identified reports are fed into the ECCAIRS European Central Repository

• EASA Network of Analysts performs analysis at an European Level

• Supports the European Aviation Safety Plan and EASA decision making

• Your reports can directly affect European safety policy


• OM1: “Bird Strike” Establishing a Belgian Aviation Wildlife Hazard Committee and drafting a national action plan to prevent collisions with animals;

• OM2: “(Near) Collisions Aircraft/Vehicle” New national regulations with respect to ground handling;

• OM3: “Unruly Passenger” Drafting regulations and procedures with respect to unruly pax;

Belgian Safety Plan 2010-2014Operational Measures (OM)


• OM4: “Flight Controls” Annual detailed analysis of the reliability of flight controls for commercial aircraft in Belgium;

• OM5: “Laser” Complete the Aviation Law with respect to the “Targeting of Aircraft with Hand Held Lasers”;

• OM6: “Runway Incursion” Implementation of the European Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway Incursions (EAPPRI).



• OM7: ”Airspace Infringement” Establishment of a national action plan for the Reduction of Airspace Infringement Risk;

6/7 OM’s have no influence on ULM activities

OM7 may have a negative impact (especially if there is no reaction from ULM community).



Belgian Safety Plan 2010-20142013 Update

• Third update of Belgian Safety Plan 2010-2014;

• New safety actions based on:

o Results risk analysis 2012;

o Alignment with EASp 2012-2015.

Fourth update WITH influence of ULM federation?
